Watchtower Tells Us "Employers Seek JWs Only" Yet Most JW Employers Avoid Hiring JWs, Why?

by BucketShopBill in

here's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.

however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.

in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.

My father and brother had JWs working for them. The JW employees were constantly steeling from the company. One time one of the non-JW workers caught two JWs having sex in one of the upstairs offices. Of course the elders handled it. Because they were witnesses they got to keep there job. The JW workers were not honest when it came to writing up there time to get paid. They always wrote down extra time.

Later when my brother (who eventually DA) took over the company we would find groups of JW employees drawing up prints for Kingdom Halls, while charging the company for there time. The list goes on. I could write a book about how the took advantage of my father and brother.

Plain and simply I would NEVER hire a JW. They are the biggest thieves out there.

Eventually my brother fired all of the JWs except for one. He was the only JW who worked there that I have respect for, and he's not considered to be a good JW by the local congregation.

How much punishment can WT take

in some ways i just have to admire wt for the amount of crap they can take and despite this can keep it from the r&f, and still keep coming up smelling of roses.

you think about all the dramas they have had and can yet still keep showing an increase - all be it in internet deprived developing countries.

but even still an over all increase is still an increase.

Expressions on faces at DC/RC

i have become more observant at the last couple district conventions of jws faces and enthusiasm and it seems to be very somber.

i remember a couple of years ago i was an attendant at one of the upper sections at the blue cross arena in rochester, ny and in afternoon session at least half were curled up with their eyes closed, some with blankets.

the applause seems very forced and mechanical.

One thing that always strikes me is the number wandering the hallways during the session.

Yes, I have to agree. If you take notice you have more people wondering the hall at a JW Ass'y than you do at a regular event. Is this because there material is boring?

I also noticed that the restrooms are kept cleaner Non-JW events than at Ass'y.

I hope this is the right place for this...

by moSIS in

please don't attack me if this is the wrong place!

i know that i definitely shouldn't be on this website, but i am to embarassed to ask anyone at my hall!

everyone would be so nice, but i just feel like i should know the answers already.

Just always keep in mind that you will be in very great danger if you refuse to do what the apostle John INSTRUCTED every Christian to do - " Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired statement, but test the inspired statements to see whether they originate with God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1)

Actually if you follow the advice of 1 John 4:1, you would be in grave danger because that would mean your thinking. The GB does not want you to do that. If you start thinking, you are guaranteed to see they are full of BS.

My advice, STAY AWAY!

New to The Jehovahs Witness Faith and need some help

hello there i am new to the faith and have been studying for about a month.

i am very excited and hungry for the truth and have not missed a meeting or study since the memorial.

we do about 2 bible studies a week.

I strongly urge you to get of copy of 'Crisis of Conscience' by Ray Franz. Read about the what the Watchtower did to the brothers in Malawi and pay particular attention to how the oposite stance was taken with the brothers in Mexico. If you read that you will be appalled at how much bloodshed was caused by Watchtower doctrine. Not to mention the manslaughter that happens at the hand of the Jehovah's Witness teachings with reference to there no blood policy.

Jehovah's Witnesses have destroyed my family. My Mother, Father and Sister are Jehovah's Witnesses. I am not. My sister will not have anything to do with my mother, because she associates with me. Are you willing to put your family through that?

To be quite honest, the thought of you looking into this organization scares me to death. PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU TO DO RESEARCH . If Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth, then you researching other literature should only help to prove them right.

Again, I emphasize to PLEASE DO RESEARCH.

Rights vs. Beliefs vs. Compliance vs. Blackmail

by cha ching in

rights vs beliefs vs compliance vs blackmail.

i did not want this subject to get lost amongst the many valuable threads because of its finnish title... please read the comments on this post, as it moved me to boil it down to how it really strikes me.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/279592/1/breaking-news-finland-attacks-judicial-committees#.u2pfzsxou1o.

please think about these questions.. if i grew up in the mafia, was a born in, and had no idea what the family business was all about..... believing it was an honest business... & i participated, what would happen if, at a more mature age, discovered what was going on behind the scenes... pedophilia, money laundering, blackmailing......
